Bidirectional navigation tables for Discourse
This plugin allows a table of topics to be created, allowing for easy access to a large number of related topics in an easy-to-digest format. Topics are arranged by tags, and can optionally be limited by category.
Installation
- Edit your web template and add the project clone url. (https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157)
- Rebuild your web container so that the plugin installs.
Creating a lattice
- Visit the admin panel (
/admin/lattices/) - Fill out the form with a name, description, and tags for each row and column of the table
- Optionally, you can limit topics which appear by category
- Be sure to set enabled to true!
Viewing a lattice
On the home screen, a dropdown will appear next to the categories dropdown, providing links to all enabled lattices
Once viewing a lattice, you can either click on a user avatar to get a quick overview of the topic:
Or, ctrl+click to go directly there.
